THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE
|
This landscape has the combined characteristics of the three old continents of the world; Europe
,Africa,and Asia and the ecological diversity surpassing any other place along the N40th latitude.This diversity is no doubt due to the intermingling of all sorts of animals whose habitats are now
dispersed in these continents, before the land masses separated in geological history.Now it is possible to observe the yearly ebb-and-flow of nature as the birds continue on their migratory routes
twice a year.The flocks of storks and birds of prey convey a magnificent spectacle that you can watch from the hills of Çamlıca in Istanbul every fall.The flamingos nest in the river valleys of the
Aegean and the Mediterranean and spend the winter in the salt water lakes of the inlands.If you happen to be visiting Dalyan(or any one of the17 beaches a long the Mediterranean)on a warm spring night
in May,you should know that you are sharing the sand dunes with one of the most delightful and shy creatures of the world;the sea turtle,as they lay eggs at this time.
